Swarms of AI drones can significantly weaken enemy defenses.
Swarms of drones with artificial intelligence have the potential to significantly transform the battlefield. Various companies have already started releasing advanced software that will make attacks by such drones even more deadly, writes Financial Times.
What's the advantage of drone swarms with AI
The publication explained that such drone swarms use artificial intelligence to coordinate among themselves in order to attack enemy positions. Auterion (a drone software company) CEO Lorenz Mayer said in a conversation with reporters that their emergence was a "game changer."
In particular, the Nemyx technology is capable of turning individual drones into a single coordinated force. It runs on the Auterion operating system and comes in the form of an app, so any compatible drone can join the swarm through a simple update, Meyer explained.
The new software has yet to be used on the battlefield, according to the Auterion CEO. Nevertheless, the company plans to deliver 33,000 of its "strike systems," which are designed for artificial intelligence drones, to Ukraine by the end of 2025 as part of a contract with the Pentagon.
"The military knows this will overwhelm enemy defenses. Everybody talks about swarms, everybody fears swarms," Meyer told reporters.
The publication noted that drone swarms allow one operator to control multiple UAVs at once. This makes it possible to employ more devious attack strategies that overwhelm enemy defenses.
"The whole idea of swarms is that you multiply the force. You only use one person," emphasized Helsing co-founder Gundbert Scherf.
The publication reminded us that the Russians already use drone swarm tactics. The occupiers have learned how to group attacks with their cheap Shahed-type drones, attacking Ukrainian cities.
Drone swarms could become even deadlier
Scherf said the latest software could make drone swarm tactics even more deadly by allowing drones to "learn on the fly." He added that in "communication relays," where multiple drones are controlled by a larger UAV, there was no real reconnaissance. Instead, the drones analyzed a huge archive of video footage from drones that were involved in combat operations.
It is noted that only Ukrainian companies have access to Universal Military Dataset's secret database of combat drones. Managing partner of the D3 Foundation Evelina Buchatskaya told reporters that this huge amount of data was necessary to create the drone swarm.
Helsing co-founder Gundbert Scherf assured that there is no need to worry about autonomous drone swarms making important decisions on their own. According to him, a human can always gain control over these drones.
